One of the most compelling promises of computer technology for business is collaboration. Working together without being together. EasyStreet uses a collaboration and document control application called ClearSpace to manage project teams and ideas. It also is a resource to know “what’s going on” within the company.
EasyStreet will be providing a managed ClearSpace server for the attendees at the “Putting Collaboration to Work” conference taking place on Friday, June 8th. ClearSpace will be one of the web2.0 tools used to illustrate and demonstrate collaboration issues at the conference.
As a thank you, the conference organizers have invited us to extend a 50% discount to any who wish to attend. Visit the PDMF website and register with the discount code “Friend50″.
I will be there and I am hoping to see you there.

Last week I found myself immobilized when the parental monitoring software (SafeEyes) on our family computer could not attach to its mother server. Parental administrative override didn’t work either. Fatal error message. I was offline until the SafeEyes server came back online.
I expect to need an Internet connection for applications such as email. Somehow, what I do on my computer needs to get to your computer. But when working independently on a document, I don’t want to be dependent on being connected to a distant 3rd-party server. That’s why I invest $$$ for desktop applications from distant software giants like Microsoft and Adobe.
The estrangement of desktop applications and web-based applications may be coming to an end. On May 30th, Google released a set of tools called Google Gears to software programmers to help make online applications available offline..
Google plans to use Gears to make other programs like Gmail, Calendar, and most notably, Docs and Spreadsheets, available offline. Google’s Reader application is the first to incorporate the new tool. In technology terms, evolution and intelligent design are converging.
How about your business? Ready to retire your expensive office productivity suite?
